Let's Get Cooking – 4 Year Evaluation
The Let’s Get Cooking four-year evaluation is now complete. The results really demonstrate what a difference the Let’s Get Cooking clubs make to people's lives. A quick glance of the results show:
- nine out of 10 club members reported practising their new cooking skills at home
- on average, each club member passes their food preparation and cooking skills on to at least one other person
- club members are more likely to eat more healthily after taking part in a Let’s Get Cooking club, (and this trend continues at least three months after taking part in club activities)
- three months after taking part in Let’s Get Cooking club activities, children remember their cooking skills, and health and hygiene messages relating to cooking.
Let’s Get Cooking has enabled more than 1.5 million people across England to benefit from the programme so far.
Our researchers will be presenting the findings at a public health conference in February 2012. A full copy of the evaluation report will be available to download from the website www.letsgetcooking.org.uk in early 2012.
